  1. Well well well , Isn't that the country that blames Israel that is repsonding to the biggest massacre against is ever of genocide ? Well ,the palestinans paid the wrong country .

  2. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂as a south African this is funny how fool people can be talking about things you not even sure about the lady maybe never even set foot in South Africa but out here talking loud about south Africa 😂😂😂😂

  3. A lady 20km from where I live was dragged to the bush and her head was BASHED in with rocks. She was visiting her parents on the farm.

    It’s not a conspiracy

  4. The South African president really ought to show us a bit more respect and maybe a healthy dose of fear. Hasn't anyone told him we’ve got fully invisible F-35s, the actual Hulk, and a top-secret ultra-mega-superweapon we call the 'Neutron Sodomizer' ray???🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

  5. How Americans elected such a narcissist psychopath is terribly unsettling. Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison to fight for the freedom of enslaved South Africans under the forceful apartheid system

  6. It’s actually alarming that true crimes are not an issue but we need to all stop because there are white people who have also died in South Africa as if only they cannot be touched how can less than 1% of a race dying out of all murders in South Africa have so much outrages what world do we live in.

  7. Finally, a real press conference in the White House. After four months of staged fake propaganda. 🤣 Thank you to the journalist who had the guts to ask the real questions that we have all been waiting for! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 maybe she will give the other journalists the courage to start asking the necessary questions too! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

  8. Right out of the Netanyahu playbook. Trump and his clowns have a lot to say about a fictitious white farmer genocide in South Africa. Do they really think that their lies distracts the world's attention from the real genocide of Palestinians which America enables and supports?

  9. WTF??? Politically persecuted??!! wtf are you crazy? no one race has been politically persecuted to that extent in our country… bra our country functions better than almost any other country on the African continent.

    I think MAYBE Botswana does better than us, but no other country beats on infrastructure in Africa. Lots of first world investors enter our market through our country… ironically cos we have the least corruption (generally in the discipline of auditing), unfortunately we do have political corruption, but not as bad as the average on the continent, definitely not the best though.

    I can clear this all up with two points though;

    – we're the most mineral dense land on the continent and export crap tonnes of precious metals and stones and oil was discovered and is being investigated off of our coast since last year
    – the highest African GDP was the population of Libya before the US invaded it and murdered Ghadafi, also overthrowing the Libyan government and banking system while they were the only African country who could pay off their debt at the IMF

    … let that simmer

  10. Trump lied and misrepresented the truth???? I'm shocked, shocked! It's only what he has been doing his entire life. News needs to hold the trump regime to truth. American press needs to question his lies and grift. Not just Europe. Leavitt is a propaganda minister not a press secretary.
